  1. @colinburgess @stojg Ah, that insane photo. I've seen that before. I expect that weasel was probably about as freaked out as the woodpecker.

    Here's another moth hitch-hiker from the Boyle where I found my springtail. We often get pseudoscorpions riding in on the moths.

    This moth had the misfortune of having a pseudoscorpion hanging onto its face.

    Another moss shaking find. The quality of the pictures reminds me that I ought to shake some moss again soon. My newer camera would, hopefully, do these peculiar little arachnids more justice.
    If they would sit still.
    Just for a second.

  10. New sign on #BlackMountain #Canberra. A couple of the species are rather optimistic for the location, but it's a really nice selection. Even a #pseudoscorpion ...

  15. Things I found under a polypore.

    A single shelf fungus can support a community of organisms--living in and on it. Here I found three beetles and a pseudoscorpion. The very tiny rove beetle (genus Gyrophaena) and shining fungus beetle (genus Scaphisoma) are dependent on fungi. The larger beetle is a clown beetle (genus Platysoma)--they live under bark and feed on fly and beetle larvae.

  20. No big deal, just out here finding new locales and new species all the time...but sure, fuck over our funding. If we don't know they exist we don't have to worry about protecting them, duuuuuh.

    (This pseudoscorpion today was quite the surprise! Identification TBD.)

    "In a parasitic first, a Baltic #amber specimen has revealed that millions of years ago, tiny worms known as #nematodes were living inside of and feeding on the outer protective layer of #pseudoscorpions."

  29. My favourite NZ observation on #iNaturalist from the last couple of days is this stable fly photographed at Waihi by helenmacky.

    It's a handsome enough fly, and it's a good photo, but what makes it stand out is the gang of at least seven pseudoscorpions all hitching a ride on it.

  34. I (badly) photographed this (currently identified) #Noctuidae species in #Merimbula #NSW. It was only when I transferred the images to my laptop that I saw the #pseudoscorpion crawling away - presumably it arrived by phoresis on the #moth - and how attractive the small beetle (#Staphylinidae) is with its pearly elytra.

    Sorry not to have got a closer look at the pseudoscorpion - I love them so much.
